This is so strange. It may happen a couple of times a day, or not at all. When it does happen there will be, every minute or 30 seconds, a 2-second delay to both typing and scrolling. This affects three browsers, Steam and Windows itself. I can get rid of it by rebooting, but not much else...

Bit of a strange one, here.
When I'm browsing YouTube I'll usually hit the mouse wheel button to open a video in a new tab while I continue to browse. However sometimes Windows seems to change what it does, as it enables the scroll function. As you can see here -
This scroll function is not...

On the scrollbar is a shaded region that shows...

I easily find Analog for macOS: Scroll

At one time I could set my taskbar wide enough to show all all my program icons because they displayed in as many columns as needed to do so. I liked that. Now, no matter how wide the taskbar is, they only form one column and you have to use the scroll bar to see the rest. (See screenshot) I...

In this post, we’ll cover how...
